MySQL Restricts Access to Enterprise Source Code
MySQL is looking to restrict access to the source code for its GPLd MySQL Enterprise Server product.
The Enterprise source code will no longer be available on the previous server at ftp.mysql.com, says MySQL Vice President in his blog. MySQL will be moving the sources to enterprise.mysql.com and thus restricting availability to paying customers.
This step comes just a year after the enterprise split the commercial and free versions of the database. The code for the Enterprise Server and Community Edition will still be released under the GNU General Public License v2 (GPL). "The rationale is to underline the positioning goal of "Community Server for community users, Enterprise Server for paying users"", Arnö explains, going on to state that this does not constitute a departure from Open Source: "it does conform to the GPL, something that we've verified with the FSF to eliminate any doubt". GPLv2 states that users who receive binaries can insist on the source code of a program being made available to them.
The database will be included with various Linux distributions, such as the Red Hat and Novell enterprise versions. There will be no changers for users of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Suse Linux Enterprise Server as both packages already use the Community Edition.
The added value for MySQL Enterprise Server users will be monthly updates and quarterly service packs: at the same time, bugs will be fixed first in the enterprise version of the database, before the community version. Binaries and sources of the MySQL Community Edition are still available from the MySQL.

BBB tips to guard against online scams
Wednesday, 21 August 2013 03:09
While there is no foolproof way to protect against all emerging technology-based scams, the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) says consumers can better defend themselves by understanding the two major objectives of online criminals: cheating people out of money and tricking them into divulging personal information with which to commit identity theft.

BOOM: How to get hired when you're old, and why companies should hire baby boomers
Thursday, 15 August 2013 14:15
Julie Desmond
Most job interviews start with the "tell me everything" question. The toughest candidates to interview are those who answer with some version of, "Well, I'm over 50 now." Sometimes, the words come out apologetically; sometimes, they have an undertone of, "I dare you to continue this conversation." Often, they are used as an explanation for why someone hasn't found work after a layoff, restructuring or recession. The "over fifty" reference is, indeed, a red flag for me in hiring.

5 Ways to Develop Leadership Skills:
Be patient with yourself.
The process of becoming an effective manager and leader takes time and can be a real challenge. People used to achieving goals through their own efforts can be demanding and impatient with others, tempted to just do everything themselves. When I first became a manager, I had to teach myself to slow down, pay attention to others and be more nurturing with employees. I continue to work on those skills.

Disorganization happens. Sometimes in just one area; sometimes on a much larger scale. Lately, shows like Hoarders have really taken off. Earlier generations remember Sanford & Sons. There certainly are people in the world who live surrounded by stuff. Likewise, there are other people who watch those shows and pat each other on the back, saying, "Glad that's not us!"

Emanuel Ax Hits His Groove on Four Sets of Variations
Sunday, January 27, 2013
FREE Facebook Download: Emanuel Ax Plays the Theme to the Beethoven 'Eroica' Variations*
Emanuel Ax has never been the flashiest pianist on the scene, prone to showy pyrotechnics or histrionic gestures. He sticks to what he does best, which are the structured, meaty works of the Austro-Germanic tradition, with occasional forays into American or Russian-Polish repertoire. He's firmly in his element on "Variations," a new recording featuring sets of variations by Haydn, Beethoven, Schumann and Copland.
As Ax notes in the album's liner notes, pianists tend to obsess over the sonata form at the expensive of other great repertoire. "I think people like Beethoven, Haydn, and Schumann show what great compositional virtuosos they are in these pieces," he writes of the variations form.
Beethoven often used this form for some of his most far-reaching ideas. Ax leads off the collection with the under-performed "Eroica" Variations, bringing out their raucous humor, as well as their introspective moments.
The Haydn Variations in F minor are a more decorous (yet often charming) creation and Ax lays them out with clarity and firmness. Schumann's Symphonic Etudes Op. 13 represent the pinnacle of the composer's piano technique and take the variations concept the farthest; at times we only get hints of the original melody. Included on the digital download release is a bonus track of Aaron Copland's Piano Variations. This 10-minute set represents modernist rather than cowboy Copland, and it's well worth getting to know.

Alpine dash essentials: rope, skeleton rack, M10 Jacket on your back. It's an alpine climbing jacket made for those who thrive on thin and technical climbs in full alpine conditions. A study in minimalism, and the lightest hard shell we make, the 3-layer waterproof/breathable M10 Jacket is a climbing-ambassador favorite. The soft, pliable H2No® Performance Standard nylon ripstop fabric yields surprising durability for its weight and protects against monsoon-season precip and summit ridge gusts. We've kept the design simple - no pit-zips or handwarmer pockets - our ambassadors didn't want 'em - and gave it a single exterior zippered chest pocket that doubles as a stuffsack (with reinforced clip-in loop). Details include sonically welded seams with the narrowest possible tape, watertight zippers, a microfleece-lined neck and chin, and cuffs that adjust with minimalist hook-and-loop closures. A single pull adjusts the helmet-compatible hood (with laminated visor) and a drawcord hem blocks out spindrift backdraft. Slim fit for technical use over light-to-medium layers.
- H2No® Performance Standard shell is built with 3-layer waterproof/breathable nylon ripstop with a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish
- Full-zip jacket has watertight, coated zipper with a Deluge® DWR finish
- Single-pull, adjustable helmet-compatible hood with laminated visor
- Microfleece-lined neck and chin for comfort
- Exterior zippered left chest pocket has watertight, coated zipper with a Deluge® DWR finish
- Garment self stuffs into chest pocket with carabiner clip-in loop
- Self-fabric hook-and-loop cuff closures; drawcord hem
- H2No® Performance Standard shell: 3-layer, 2.2-oz 15-denier 100% nylon ripstop with a waterproof/breathable barrier and a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish
- 201 g (7.1 oz)
- Made in Vietnam.
3-layer H2No® Performance Standard fabrics are waterproof and breathable by virtue of an advanced combination of elements: a water-repellent shell fabric, a waterproof barrier and an interior scrim fabric. This fabric package is completely waterproof, windproof, breathable and highly durable.
Deluge® DWR
Patagonia's proprietary durable water repellent fabric finish, Deluge DWR, lasts substantially longer than standard DWRs. Garments with the Deluge DWR finish have like-new repellency after years of extensive use.

A Wonderful Evening
Last night was so much fun. I was on a panel discussing the children's books that influenced our lives. Editor Anita Silvey featured me (along with 109 other folks) in her book Everything I Need to Know I Learned From a Children's book. So, there I was on a podium with award winning children's author Lois Lowry (The Giver), New York Times bestselling author Anita Diamant (The Red Tent and The Last Days of Dogtown) and Carol Greenwald of WGBH who brought Arthur, Curious George and Martha Speaks to TV. Our assignment was to talk about how one book led to our career decisions. I talked about Wrinkle in Time and showed two photo case studies. The other writers featured their favorites–The Yearling, Mary Poppins and The Oxcart Man. Anita Silvey ended the evening by speaking about the power of children's books. Believe me. Every person in Silvey's book chose to follow their dream based on something they read. It's an amazing testament to the power of the written word.

Visual Arts
Developing students' awareness of creative processes as well as their understanding of the relationships between art and society is the goal of Old Westbury's Visual Arts Department. At Old Westbury, students may earn a Bachelor of Arts degree is Visual Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree in Visual Arts: Electronic Media. To be accepted as a major in the department, students must submit a Declaration of Major form and a portfolio with previous work.
The Visual Arts Program focuses on a problem and project oriented course of study. Skills are developed as students need them; thus students feel free to use and even invent media related to expressive needs. Students do not have to postpone creation until they have mastered a whole set of techniques. Students are urged to blend technical education with creative projects.
In studios and dedicated computer laboratories located in the College's Campus Center, students engage in small class settings with professors whose art is recognized internationally and who have created - and continue to create - works that are exhibited in the finest galleries and museums of nearby New York City and across the globe.
Faculty Profiles
Mac Adams, Professor Sculpture, Photography, Computer GraphicsAs an artist Mac Adams would say his area of research and investigation is the visual structure of the narrative. His work stretches from photography to sculpture to public art. Adams has gained an international reputation over the last 30 years for his innovative use of light and shade. His sculptures play elaborate games of shadow puppetry, and recent public projects have relied on the Earth's rotation to make fleeting figurative images out of the shadows they cast. His work is collected by dozens of institutions, from the Chase Manhattan Bank to London's Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art New York. As designer of public art in 1991, he designed the New York Korean War Memorial installed in Battery Park, New York City, which is the first major memorial in the United States dedicated to the Korean War. He also designed works for the Henry Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio as well as The Louis Pasteur University in Strasbourg, France. He received three major National Endowment for the Arts awards; Berlin Artist in Residence, D.A.A.D., and New York Fellowship for the Arts.

A winner of the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, her career blends art teaching and art practice. She had held more than 50 exhibitions in all parts of the U.S., and won several national grants and residencies. Professor Griffin has been invited to speak about her work to art students in colleges in the U.S. and Europe, to judge art shows, and to give workshops. Her work has been shown in prominent museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, and is part of many public and private collections. In addition to reviews, her work appears in the art book "Lines of Vision."

The broadcasters will undoubtedly appeal the decision, which will now go to either the full Second Circuit or the US Supreme Court.

EXCLUSIVE DISCOVERY: improves brain health, memory, and protects against cognitive decline
One of the most common concerns I hear from men and women in their 50s (or beyond) is that they're worried about staying mentally sharp and independent.
And I've developed Omega DHA Brain Defense to address these concerns at their source. A first of its kind, Omega DHA Brain Defense is a combination of powerful nutrients that can support long-term brain health, memory, learning, and overall cognitive function, while promoting circulatory health in and around the brain.
I began with the omega-3 fatty acid DHA. The same essential fatty acid I prefer for heart health may also be the single most crucial nutrient for brain protection and cognitive function. In fact, the highest concentrations of DHA are found in your brain (97% or more!), yet it's nearly impossible to get enough from your daily diet.
And studies show that men and women over 55 with the highest levels of DHA were most likely to maintain a healthy brain and cognitive function.
DHA helps protect delicate nerve membranes from free-radical damage, and perhaps most importantly, it helps facilitate nerve cell communication, which is critically important for clear thinking and memory.
Sourced from carefully cultivated algae, the DHA I have chosen is incredibly pure, potent, and clinical studies show that the 900 mg you get in each daily serving of Omega DHA Brain Defense can help:
- Improve memory and learning in adults over 55
- Support long-term brain health
- Maintain healthy circulation in the brain
- Promote cognitive health
- Protect brain cells from free-radical damage
Plus it can have a beneficial effect on heart rate, blood pressure, HDL, and triglyceride levels. But that's just the beginning!
Antioxidants help promote long-term brain health and prevent free-radical damage and premature aging
Your brain consumes roughly 20% of the oxygen you breathe—more oxygen than any other organ in the body. And that means your delicate brain cells are also among the most susceptible to oxidation and free-radical damage.
But Omega DHA Brain Defense has you covered—Tocomin® is a full-spectrum vitamin E complex offering unmatched antioxidant protection for your brain cells and the arteries that deliver oxygen-rich blood to your brain. It can also help reduce the free-radical damage that can lead to premature aging.
Preserve memory, protect brain function, and help ensure a lifetime of independence and cognitive clarity
Rounding out this revolutionary formula is a unique and proprietary form of folic acid called Quatrefolic®.
Quatrefolic is up to seven times more bioavailable than ordinary folic acid and can help reduce homocysteine levels, boosting not only heart health…but protecting your brain, memory, recall, and cognitive health.
Never before have these three exclusive, proprietary nutrients come together in one place—revolutionizing how we approach long-term brain health.
If you're a man or woman over 50, don't wait. Order Omega DHA Brain Defense today!

Scientific Support
In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical trial, 485 men and women age 55 and older with mild memory complaints participated in a study analyzing the effects of 900mg of algal DHA on learning and memory function. Subjects took the DHA supplement for 6 months. The primary outcome would be based off of the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) Paired Associated Learning Test (PAL), a validated learning and episodic memory test.
Those taking the DHA supplement demonstrated significantly fewer errors on the PAL test versus placebo as well as improved immediate and delayed Verbal Recognition Memory scores. Researchers compared this to a 3.4 year net improvement in learning and memory function by taking the DHA supplement. Researchers also noted a significant decrease in heart rate was observed in DHA supplementation, indicating a cardiovascular supporting effect as well.

Patrick Hagan — Bloomberg
"Market Smiles Revisited"
Local volatility models are the most popular method for pricing and hedging options in the presence of market smiles and skews. A careful analysis of these models show that they predict that market smiles move in the opposite direction as the price of the underlying asset, contrary to all trading experience. This difference causes the hedges to be unstable, which can lead to serious 'leakage' in option books. A deeper look at the theory leads us to a stochastic volatility model, the SABR model. We solve this model to obtain an explicit, closed form solution for the implied volatility. This solution shows good agreement with the observed volatility smiles. More importantly, it shows that the SABR model predicts the correct smile dynamics, which leads to stable hedging of our skew/smile exposures.
Patrick received his Ph.D and B.S in Applied Mathematics from the California Institute of Technology. He has worked at Bear-Stearns, Nomura, NumeriX, BNP Paribas, and Morgan Stanley designing trading systems for fixed income, credit, and foreign exchange derivatives, as well as developing the component models, calibration methods, and numerical algorithms.

Vote: Don't Take Yours for Granted
Just ask Kansas. On Election Day, Nov. 2, Kansas will vote in a nationally important referendum on a proposed amendment to the state constitution.
The amendment would eliminate an existing provision that allows the legislature (if it chooses) to deny anyone living with a mental illness the right to vote.
If you have family or friends in Kansas, please call or e-mail them to encourage them to Vote Yes on 2. And don't take your own right to vote for granted while others are fighting for theirs. No matter where you live: don't forget to vote.
NPR Protest
NAMI has protested the recent remark by the CEO of National Public Radio (NPR) that a senior correspondent fired for comments about Muslims should have kept his feelings between himself and his "psychiatrist or publicist--take your pick."
NAMI Executive Director Mike Fitzpatrick discussed the controversy in his Oct. 27 entry of the NAMI Blog, charging that the stigmatizing statement violated the letter or spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). He called for NPR to adopt a plan to "educate and reassure" managers and employees about protections against unfair discrimination based on mental illness.
Tell NPR what you think. Send a message to the CEO at the address below or to its Ombudsman through the "contact us" feature of the NPR website.

Halloween Update
Congratulations to NAMI Ohio for its protest of Cedar Point amusement park's special attraction: "Dr. D. Mented's Asylum for the Criminally Insane." It provided an important "teaching moment" covered by regional news media and listed in the state news briefs section of USA Today.
Cedar Point is owned by Cedar Fair Entertainment, which owns 11 major amusement parks and six water parks in the United States and Canada--at least one of which also drew Halloween protests. Traded on the N.Y. Stock Exchange, the company remains a target for anti-stigma education.
Contact Cedar Entertainment to demand that it stop the stigma in all its parks--next year and forever after. Halloween chills, thrills and fun don't require stigma, which the U.S. Surgeon General has identified as a public health hazard.
Would one of Cedar Fair's amusement parks ever sponsor a Halloween attraction featuring a cancer ward? How about one mocking victims of a collapsed roller coaster?

Mt. Lebanon Library offers gardening programs
Parco Villa Pallavicino Stresa, one of the gardens to be discussed in the "Some Beautiful Gardens in Italy" talk March 23 at the Mt. Lebanon Public Library.
Mt. Lebanon Public Library will present four gardening programs this spring leading up to the Annual Mt. Lebanon Public Library Garden Tour and Party, July 6-7. Each presentation will help homeowners improve their outdoor space and create natural beauty in their own yards.
The first program, 6:30 p.m. Feb. 26, features garden writer and landscape designer Phyllis Gricus on the topic, "Rain Gardens." This program will teach gardeners how to reduce pollution of the local watershed by keeping some of their property's water run-off in an attractive, low-maintenance natural space right in their own yard.
At 6:30 p.m. March 4, the topic will be "Creating an Easy-care Garden of Roses." This program will challenge some of the myths associated with growing roses in a home garden, as well as discuss how to select the right rose, proper planting techniques, easy pruning methods and low-environmental impact disease and insect control. David McKibben, American Rose Society Consulting Rosarian and Friends Board member, will show home gardeners that it is not difficult to grow roses and it can be done using organic gardening methods.
The third event takes place at 1:30 p.m. March 23. Bonnie and Art Bishop, frequent travelers to gardens in Italy and France, will present the historical background and garden designs from six prominent gardens in the Veneto, Piedmont and Tuscany regions of Italy. "Some Beautiful Gardens in Italy," will offer tips on how to incorporate features from the famous Italian masterpiece gardens to your own garden, along with travel ideas for those planning a trip to these regions of Italy. This program is co-sponsored with the Pittsburgh Rose Society.
The final program at 7:30 p.m. March 27, is held in cooperation with the Historical Society of Mount Lebanon, and is titled "The History and Future of the Site of the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden." Horticultural Society of Western Pennsylvania President Greg Nace will review the history of the project and show the designs for the 18 distinct gardens and five woodland areas that will make up the completed Pittsburgh Botanic Garden. The presentation will feature the 460-acre development at the garden site over the past years, leading up to the present incarnation as the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden.
On July 6, the annual Garden Party unfolds in the library's courtyard, followed the next day with the Annual Garden Tour. For more information, visit www.mtlebanonlibrary.org.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anjle from I love these socks I've worn these a few times so far, and they washed well. The quality is excellent- they are thick and comfortable and will keep you warm without suffocating you if the weather warms up. The quality of design is not sacrificed by comfort, and vice-versa. Any designs I like from this label in the future, I am likely to buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KSparkes from New Favourites! I knew these socks were going to be amazing, but I was actually blown away when I tried them on. The colours are beautiful, the design is fun (I love how the black tentacles trail down over my feet), and the quality is great, as always. Jellyfish aren't my favourite animals, but they've moved up a few places thanks to these socks.

Marv Hagedorn District 14 Senator
Growing up in Northern Idaho and working in the lumber mills has instilled strong Idaho roots and values in Marv. Before getting out of high school, Marv volunteered and enlisted in the US Navy where he served twenty years on active duty in the naval intelligence and cryptology community. After receiving a "field commission" for his leadership and management talents and upon returning to Idaho, Marv brought those proven skills he learned as a "Navy Mustang" and put them to work in the private sector. Marv managed business operations profit and loss for 2 different international companies and grew one from $7 million to $100 million per year, the other from startup to $3 million per year under his watch. He has negotiated and closed international business contracts valued over $200 million and is credited with three U.S. Patents in the creation of a special plazma for semiconductor manufacturing. Marv brings not only his strong work ethic to the table but years of technical, management and leadership experience building and maintaining relationships.
As a 6 year conservative member of the Idaho House of Representatives, Marv served on the Joint Finance Appropriations Committee, Transportation and Defense, Resources and Conservation and Business committees. He now serves in the Idaho Senate on the Health and Welfare, Judiciary and Rules and Transportation committees.
Marv and his wife Patty make their home in Legislative District 14, in Western Ada County. He is the father of two children, John who served in the Army during the surge in Iraq for 15 months and Kristin who he commissioned as a Navy Ensign. Both then followed their father's footsteps serving their Nation in the Navy Reserves in intelligence positions. In his spare time, Marv is an avid outdoorsman and maintains an active role in many sportsman organizations across Idaho. He is a life member of the Disabled Veterans Association, Life member of the NRA and N. American Fishing Assoc and a long time member of the American Legion Post 114.
He is also a co-founder of the Wyakin Warrior Foundation, that developed and operates the Academy for Wounded Warriors. This is a multi-tiered mentorship, professional development and scholarship program supporting America's wounded warriors. This program sponsors our nation's heroes to attend college and specialized leadership development programs at BSU and CWI while assisting them in their transition from military duty to becoming community leaders. The Wyakin Warrior Foundation has been named "Best in Class" by the USO.

A Way With Wood
When I first saw this console by the Japanese-American master woodworker and furniture maker, George Nakashima, I was, and still am, struck by the wonderful twelve-foot long expanse of wood that is the console top. It seems to be a celebration of the material, of the tree it came from—a warm-toned surface with a silky, nuanced grain and soft contoured edges, a surface that invites you to look, study, touch and run your hand along to feel it, even to tap it, hear it.

About Jeff
perhaps if it's to be considered private property - they should be paying private property taxes on it then?
So the fundamental question still exists - WTF is the NYPD doing uninvited in a foreign country? How is this supposed to help protect the malls in NYC? Should the cops in Pasedena be sending their own special liasons too? Where do you draw the line? To anybody not living in the great dystopian state of NYC - this appears to be a monumental waste of money and manpower.
So mister coward - how would you have fixed this situation? What would you do? It's easy to be a Friday morning quarterback...
did you send your check to Don Henley for using his words???
seriously - after having to sit through thinly disguised "user" presentations; the more acronyms, the more likely the product is B.S.
1988 - 2013 is 25 years?
I've done my homework - perhaps you ought remove your foot from your mouth before commenting. As many others have said on this post - Weird Al doesn't *have* to ask permission to parody a song. He does so out of professional respect. Asking permission for a parody has nothing to do with Fair Use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use#Fair_use_and_parody
So according to your line of thought Weird Al should be living in the poor-house then?
"We have to burn this village down to save it"
ummm - no he's not... he's ex-Navy.
They represent the people who elected them just fine - as long as they're bringing the cash that is...
Kind of like the least un-truthful answer... politicians in this country sucked the lifeblood out of it.
sad but true button is needed here!
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others".

I believe that should be "Representative Mike Rogers" not "Senator Mike Rogers"
The NSA probably recorded it also!

Lawmakers both in favor and opposed to the Marketplace Fairness Act are repeatedly leveraging one phrase in the debate over an Internet sales tax: small business.
The fairness act easily passed the Senate in a 69-27 vote Monday but faces a tougher battle in the House. On Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner told Bloomberg TV that he "probably" won't support the legislation, which he said puts "a big burden on some very small businesses."
One small business owner said he hopes the Republican-controlled House wins the battle to prevent the Marketplace Fairness Act from becoming law.
"I file eight or nine tax forms every year, and I'm a 10-person business," said Gene Marks, president of The Marks Group, a consulting firm based outside Philadelphia. "Small business is already buried in tax paperwork. It's brutal."
The Marketplace Fairness Act would allow states to require that out-of-state retailers collect online sales tax. The change would create an "enormous task" for small businesses, said Marks, who favors a national sales tax rather than the proposed legislation.
"As a small business, I would much prefer to fill out one form and one check, and let the federal government worry about allocating the money back to the state," he said.
(Read More: Peeling Back the Internet Sales Tax)
Jim Fredlund is vice president of tax and logistics at Digital River, a global e-commerce business that helps companies navigate the tax compliance and regulatory system and whose customers include Microsoft and Samsung.
"I don't think states will be very sympathetic toward online businesses' ability to comply with the Marketplace Fairness Act," Fredlund said. "There's a whole world of burden coming between doing the tax up front, compliance and handling the audits."
Fredlund said compliance with the online sales tax will be especially difficult for smaller businesses, forcing them to hire accountants or outsource. Either way, he said, it will increase business expenses.
"Larger companies are capable of absorbing the cost of outsourcing better than smaller ones," he said.
Retail giants supporting the bill include Amazon.com, Wal-Mart Stores, Target and Best Buy, which are already required to charge taxes online because they have a physical presence in most states.
(Read More: Internet Sales Tax May Be an 'Early Christmas' for Retailers)
"The intent is to create a level playing field in which all businesses compete in relationship to the other on a fair basis," said Brad Anderson, the former CEO of Best Buy and a member of the Job Creators Alliance.
But eBay has been outspoken against the bill, saying that it will hurt its sellers, in particular small businesses.
"When small businesses all across the nation are struggling to keep their doors open to customers, this is certainly not the time to require small online retailers to collect and remit sales taxes in up to 9,600 jurisdictions nationwide," eBay's website says.
Though the legislation exempts businesses with less than $1 million in out-of-state sales annually, eBay proposes raising the exemption to $10 million and to businesses with fewer than 50 employees.
"We're fighting over a small business definition that's really tiny," Brian Bieron, eBay's senior director of global public policy, told CNBC. "It's remarkable that businesses that sell tens of millions of dollars in every one of their stores would be fighting to put a new tax burden on businesses at the million-dollar level."
(Watch: Former Best Buy CEO and eBay Director of Global Public Policy on Internet Tax Bill)
As for the Marketplace Fairness Act's chances in the House, Fredlund said it is simply a matter of time before Congress implements an online sales tax.
"The urge for states to tax remote sales has been there a long time," he said. "The states are hungry for revenue, and they view this as an unfair gap."
There is one quick way to make tax burdens fair among all businesses, small and large, nationwide: eliminating sales tax altogether, Fredlund said.
Marks agreed, "No tax is good for small business!"
